Thus said, philosophically, S. J. Parker.
Note that for Grice, there is a scale implicature
<love, like>
However, Parker is cautious: she says "always" -- which allows for a difficult,
yet possible, logical interpretation.
Cfr. however, odd variants:
"I don't love Carrie. But I like her"
"I never like Carrie. But I always love her"
"I don't usually like Carrie, but I love her"
etc.
